As you guys already know, it has been a few years now since we have had a decent fanzine. All the other major clubs in the PL have one apart from us. I think it's about time we put that right.
The SC forum has a fantastic spectrum of opinions from many posters who I feel could well do with a wider audience. The likes of SS57, Stoof, Nidic, Dan Ashcroft, etc always, well most of the time, write some right insightful posts which given the right platform could well be shared amongst our faithful. As we seem to post at 100mph we seem to miss out on the good points aswell as the bad. This problem could well be solved by each member given the opp to email in an article putting forward there argument at the given topic at the time. There are many other things we could add to our fanzine i.e. previews to upcoming games, match reports, memories from yester year, music page, fashion page, profile of a fan, media page (maybe Dan Ashcroft could well write this page), a ITK page, letters page, etc.... Ofcourse we will have our resident writers each issue or so in our fanzine but I think the best pages could well be the articles wriiten by us the common fan.
Proceeds from the fanzine could well go towards the site hosting (maintenance) of SC, banners/flags for games, maybe for mosaics the big games, coach travel for away games, etc...
Ofcourse we will need set up fees and with that we may well need a whip around but I'm sure there are people posting on this forum who could help us bring our costs down at the start. For example I'm sure somebody on here must know somebody who owns a print works. A discount could well be worked there, maybe even a 0 profit run done for us as a favour for the first few issues or so. For the designing of the mag I'm sure there must be some graphical desigmners on here too. Etc, etc, etc...
With a little bit of thought, we have 100's of minds to tap into here on this forum for ideas, and graft I'm sure we can make this happen. What do you guys think....
